:00:18. > :00:21.Elgin platform is decreasing according to the oil company.
:00:21. > :00:24.Meanwhile, a team of scientists has set off to assess the environmental

:01:06. > :01:11.and drill a relief well. Resources are being deployed to stop the gas
:01:11. > :01:15.leak. We want to see that happen as soon as possible. But it has to be
:01:15. > :01:25.done in a safe and practical way. But at least we now have a
:01:25. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:30.timetable which is a weak -- one week to 10 days. This new image

:01:59. > :02:04.samples of water, sediment and with the life. They then will be brought
:02:04. > :02:13.back to shore for testing. Some of the initial work will take place on

:02:41. > :02:43.days. An 8-year-old boy who was killed in
:02:43. > :02:47.an accident on a farm in South Lanarkshire yesterday has been
:02:47. > :02:49.named as Charles Kimm. It is thought he died after a 4x4 with a

:02:52. > :02:55.Emergency services were called, but the boy died at the scene. An

:03:00. > :03:03.was killed in Afghanistan after being taken hostage have travelled
:03:03. > :03:06.to the country for the first time since her death. Linda Norgrove was
:03:06. > :03:09.killed during a failed mission to free her in October 2010. Her
:03:09. > :03:17.parents visited projects funded through a foundation they set up in

:03:23. > :03:27.of Lewis. Her love of travel and adventure to go to Afghanistan. Her
:03:27. > :03:35.parents have just returned from a country where their daughter died.
:03:35. > :03:38.Mixed emotions. Visiting their, meeting up with her friends and
:03:38. > :03:44.colleagues, people who themselves were quite emotional about what
:03:44. > :03:52.happened to her. It was something that I am glad we did, but it was
:03:52. > :03:57.difficult. Linda Norgrove was an aid worker. But in 2010, she was
:03:57. > :04:02.taken hostage and was killed when a rescue attempt went wrong. She was
:04:02. > :04:10.committed to working out there and trying to help people. I can
:04:10. > :04:16.understand why. She would have been moved by the poverty and the
:04:16. > :04:21.difficulties that people face on a daily basis. She was 36 years old
:04:21. > :04:25.when she died. But her parents are determined to keep her memory alive

:04:31. > :04:36.first project we visited was the Afghan children's Circus, teaching
:04:36. > :04:45.circus skills it to children and also drama. It was great to see
:04:45. > :04:50.children enjoy themselves in a place where there is razor wire
:04:50. > :04:58.everywhere outside. It can be quite miserable, Afghanistan. But Afghan
:04:58. > :05:04.these are very much like us. They won the same kind of thing that we
:05:04. > :05:07.do, security, peace and quiet to bring their families up in.
:05:07. > :05:10.The Rangers manager Ally McCoist says he is not surprised the club
:05:10. > :05:13.could owe its creditors up to �134 million. The Ibrox side could be
:05:13. > :05:16.liable for up to �93 million to the tax man. Among hundreds of other
:05:16. > :05:23.creditors is a raft of small businesses and, as Chris McLaughlin
:05:23. > :05:30.reports, many of them are not expecting to get their money back.
:05:30. > :05:39.This local newsagent is one of a number of companies owed cash by
:05:39. > :05:43.Rangers, around �600. For the smaller creditors, the pain is very
:05:43. > :05:51.real. The director of one company who did not want to be identified
:05:52. > :05:55.is furious and told BBC Scotland, Rangers used to be good, who would
:05:55. > :06:02.have thought it would come to this? I do not expect to get any money
:06:02. > :06:06.back. Sadly, that is not unusual in a case of insolvency. If you are a
:06:06. > :06:12.small, unsecured creditor, you will wait a long time to get anything
:06:12. > :06:18.I'd might get nothing. It is very demoralising. How would you feel?
:06:18. > :06:22.The players and coaching staff were going around their usual business
:06:22. > :06:29.and the man in charge of football insists that the debt bill came as
:06:29. > :06:39.no shock. Small businesses have a fantastic relationship with the
:06:39. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:43.Football Club. These people, we have struck up years of working
:06:43. > :06:47.with them and have a friendly relationships with them. We do not
:06:47. > :06:57.want to let people down in that department. The administrators

:07:05. > :07:08.lead midway through his second round. He is two under par,
:07:08. > :07:11.significantly better off than his fellow Scots in the field. Sandy
:07:11. > :07:17.Lyle, a previous champion at Augusta's had a terrible couple of
:07:17. > :07:20.days. This is one of his better shots. He finished 20 over par.
:07:20. > :07:23.Martin Laird is four over par and should just make the cut.
:07:23. > :07:26.It is hoped Britain's oldest breeding osprey will lay a clutch
